Delhi Police Launches Anti-Eve-Teasing Squad
Delhi Police has introduced a new initiative to combat eve-teasing and ensure women’s safety in the capital. As part of the “anti-eve-teasing” squad, plain-clothed officers are conducting surprise checks in crowded areas such as metro stations, markets, and bus stops. This initiative comes in response to growing complaints of harassment in public spaces. The squad aims to identify and apprehend offenders discreetly, creating a safer environment for women.
In political news, the central government has launched a new initiative to boost rural employment. The program, named “Gramin Rozgar Abhiyan,” focuses on creating job opportunities in agriculture, infrastructure, and small-scale industries. Opposition leaders have criticized the program, demanding greater transparency in its implementation. However, the ruling party has defended the initiative, stating it will empower rural communities and reduce migration to urban areas.
The Indian economy continues to show resilience, with the GDP growth rate for the last quarter exceeding expectations. Key sectors like manufacturing, IT, and renewable energy have driven this growth. However, economists warn of challenges ahead, including rising inflation and global market uncertainties. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to review interest rates next week, with experts predicting a possible hike to curb inflation.
